Sydney, March 25: Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar on Wednesday said he believed Australia were favourites to win the high-voltage World Cup semifinal against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground here on Thursday. But he also felt that if the defending champions led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni bat first and put up a big total, the results could be different.

"Australia are favourites because they have psychological advantage of having beaten India in all the matches the two sides have played in all formats in recent times. I understand that World Cup is a different ball game altogether but I still feel that Australia have got the advantage,"Gavaskar said, according to PTI.
